Accelerated Valley Line West LRT construction on schedule: City of Edmonton
The City of Edmonton says its accelerated road work plan is working.
On Wednesday, the city and Marigold Infrastructure Partners (MIP) gave an update on the sped-up Valley Line West LRT work.
The new plan including full intersection closures along the LRT route began in April and will run until November, with the goal of reducing the overall duration of traffic disruptions and getting LRT road work back on schedule.
The city and Marigold said the full closure of Stony Plain Road at 124 Street reopened to traffic on June 11, one week ahead of schedule.
Closures on Meadowlark Road and Stony Plain Road are both anticipated to end on schedule, they added.
Meadowlark and 87 Avenue was partially closed to traffic May 1 and was expected to reopen Wednesday.
Stony Plain Road and 156 Street was partially closed on April 21 and was expected to reopen on Thursday.
Stony Plain Road and 142 Street was closed in mid-June and was expected to reopen in mid-August.
According to the update, the intersection of 95 Avenue and 156 Street will partially close for nine weeks starting in late July; signage has been posted and more details on traffic impacts will be released later.
The last phase will include work on Stony Plain Road and 149 Street. The city and Marigold said that work won't begin until work on Stony and 142 Street is finished.
Construction on the Valley Line West began in 2022 and is expected to wrap up in 2028.
